He would give no par- , tieulira. The report may, and Tboy not , l>e true. We qnettion lt« authenticity. ! We shall await farther Information with j ""^Vlnterest.

A* *e stated last week, there is undoubtedly an ioleotion to make an attack , oa Charleston, or ^arannah, or both, j tliough circumstances may arise to delay j It, or to abandon it altogether, for the present. Be this as It ms^ the rebels ^ expect it, as Ibe following proclamation from the lying Gen. Beauregard plainly shows.

You noticed ere ibis that my letter broke off vary abruptly. There was nothing of Importance on the. paper, however, so I' will not forward it now. It Is now over a week since we arrived et this place. The weather has been pleasant ontil .to-day, and it has afforded us opportunity for arranging onr so that they would be measarally comfortable. Nearly all of onr tents have been stockaded with excellent pine slabs. At Falmouth we dag and stock- ' tided below tbe- ground, bat here the ' stockading is above the level. The camps of tbe several regiments are near 1 er to each other than they were opposite • Frcderklisburg. The level country 1 he reaffords this privilege We htve fins drill and parade grounds, and since coming here we have improved our time r In drilling. A northeast storm Is' raging ' to-day bnt we do not suffer 'from the 1 mud as we have in other parts of Ylr ! ginia. Thus far we have learned nothing of what is to be done with the 9th Army > Corps. It is still intimated that we are i ip aid in an attack upon Richmond, by 1 advancing by the way of Suffolk. • of thia corns are yet arriving befe. I know of no regiment that has 1 I had as good transportation as tbe , "Twenty-fifth." Msny are brought' i here in hooters, barges, etc. W e are i not undsr the command of Gen. Hooker . now. Gen.
